Trudeau says internet regulation could be used to repress citizens, free speech

He made his case at the kick-off of the Open Government Partnership Summit, a gathering of civil society and government representatives from some 100 countries aimed at promoting more open and transparent governments around the globe. "Fundamentally, we can't look at platforms as automatic antagonists. We recognize the solution doesn't lie in government's heavy hand over our internet, over our public spaces," he said during a conversation with Liz Plank, a journalist with online media outlet Vox.

A few hours earlier, politicians from Canada and about a dozen other countries wrapped up a three-day gathering in Ottawa aimed entirely at coming to grips with the potential harms social media causes to democracies. The consensus of those who took part -- including representatives from Canada's three main federal parties -- was that the tech giants can't be trusted to regulate themselves and it's time for government's to compel them to clean up their act.

First world dictatorship. That's all democracy has been for decades. They just make us think we have a vote/say.

TIME TO GET RID OF BIG BROTHER AND ALL HIS STOUGES

The U.S government want to silence free speech and the FreedomOfThePress Look what they have done to JulianAssange for exposing their corruption. ProtectJulian

He is a dictator

There is no such thing as free speech in Canada.Hypocrite.

But bailing out a select few media outlets really helps free speech! Right!? Oh... Canada!

They did a great job on the Simpsons.

In other words, a liberal dream.

Not if done properly, Facebook needs to be reigned in

You call yourselves journalists?

The MediaDias could be weaponized !!

Just pay them off like you did main stream media.

This is true. So much information on the internet. So many sources for information too.

Duh!
